You've got a couple of options.
1. Install SQL 2005 Express edition (it's a crippled version of SQL
2005, 1 CPU, 1 GB of RAM, 4 GB database max)
2. Install the database on another server and have the web server
access that database
3. Update the web server from Web Edition to Standard Edition

I have already installed 2005 Express and my database will not exceed 4gb.
So how is the best way to do the restore?
